An international team made up of astronomers from around the world within the framework of the Gaia mission has just announced the discovery of the most massive stellar black hole discovered so far in the Milky Way. Their research was published this Tuesday by the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics and is signed by 300 researchers from countries such as Germany, Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Italy, Sweden, Chile, Australia and also Spain. Specifically, the professor at the Department of Applied Physics at the University of Vigo and researcher at the Institute of Physics and Aerospace Sciences Ana Ulla is one of the signatories of the article, whose main author is Pasquale Panuzzo.
